As the director, Ben greeted the investor, Freya.
Freya slightly protruded her belly. Everyone in the entertainment industry was shrewd. Seeing that she was pregnant, no one urged her to drink or disturbed her.
Freya only chatted with Ryan and Melissa, while Aya sat on the side, occasionally making eye contact with Ryan. Their interaction seemed to be ambiguous.
After Melissa recounted the incident with the Wallaces, Ryan scoffed and said, “The Wallaces are gone.”
“You did it? Or was it Uncle Marshall?” Freya raised her eyebrows.
“I was actually planning to do it myself later, but Radley beat me to it, revealed Ryan indifferently.
Just then, Melissa realized something and asked, “Wait, how did you know what happened at Evergreen University, Ryan? Did Frey snitch on me?”
Hearing that, Freya couldn’t help but laugh. “Oh, that’s not me. If I wanted to say something. I would say it when you’re around. There’s no need for me to snitch on you.”
Freya had known for a long time that the Marshalls had informants at Evergreen University. Melissa was the heiress of the Marshall family after all. For her safety, they wouldn’t leave her alone at college.
The three chatted for a while. Meanwhile, people around them mostly talked about the most surprising news of the day.
Danna’s explicit photos and videos were all over the internet. Almost everyone had seen her photos.
Someone even counted the few moles on her body.
“Jeez, I never expected that Danna is like this. She seemed so innocent. Who knew she could be so dirty!” “Yes, that video. I bet she must have slept with men from all over the world. Hahaha.”
“You bet.”
Although the gossipers lowered their voices, they couldn’t help but laugh when they were excited.
Ben smiled and interrupted, “Alright, let’s not talk about others.”
“Mr. Mccarthy, it’s a good thing that Jean Birch requested to recast the lead actress for Moonlit Journey. Otherwise, our TV show might not be able to air now!
Before, relying on the influence of Radley, Danna had offended many in the entertainment industry, especially the crew members.
Many production teams shared the same crew members. In fact, several of them here had been troubled by Danna before. But now, they looked very happy.
“She deserves it. I wonder whether she’ll have the courage to act in the future.”
“Even if she wants to act, someone has to want to cast her.”
“True. But, those web dramas like this kind of popularity and traction. They might cast her still”
“Yeah, I think she could try shifting her career to another country. With her looks, she could still be popular.”
After gossiping about it for a while, everyone grew tired of the topic and started talking about the airing of Moonlit Journey.
The TV drama series would be aired at the end of the month, which coincided with the release of another popular drama series.
Freya had been lying on the sofa for a while before getting up to go to the bathroom.
Near the bathroom door in the private room, a few crew members were chatting. Freya felt that there was no privacy, so she decided to go to the shared bathroom in the corridor.
As soon as she finished washing her hands and straightened up, she saw a black shadow approaching from behind.
Freya frowned and cautiously picked up a white porcelain hand soap bottle from the sink.
When she saw the incomer’s face in the mirror, she put the bottle back down.
It was Chris, a friend of Radley.
Freya turned around just to see him rushing into the women’s bathroom.
She was surprised.
A few seconds later, a few men in black hurried in and barged into the men’s bathroom.
Soon, they came out and placed their gaze on the women’s bathroom door. Their head politely asked, “Miss, did you see a man go into the women’s bathroom just now?”
Freya twitched her lips as she pointed at the sign on the bathroom door. “What do
Smiling awkwardly, the man led his group away.
you think?”
Freya washed her hands slowly, and Chris came out of the bathroom just as she was done.
She gave him a look.
“Hey, Frey, thanks a lot,” said Chris with a smile.
“Mr. Holland, didn’t you own Trinity Club? How come you’re being chased like a mouse on your own turf?” asked Freya with her arms crossed.
“Oh, well. My grandfather sent those men. Even if it’s on my own turf, I still have to hide, not to mention at home.” Chris sighed.
“Ah, is your family planning to set you up on a blind date again?” She raised her eyebrows.
in
Nodding, Chris explained, “The Parkers’ daughter recently went to the Parker Group’s branch company Vroria. My grandfather insists that I accompany her. I don’t hang out much with Isabella. Yet, both sides of the elders seem to think we’re secretly in love! Frey, if I really liked her, would I need to keep it a secret, you think?”
Freya agreed, “Yeah, with your reputation as the Mr. Holland in Vroria, you certainly don’t lack any
romantic affairs.”
“This is slander. Frey!” Chris blinked at her.
Wiping her hands dry, Freya warned, “Izzy is my best friend. Don’t make a move on her.”
“Do I look like that kind of man?!” Chris leaned against the sink. His handsome face carried a hint of egotism. “Although I’m a bit of a sc*mbag, the women I played with are all se mbags themselves. It’s fair play. As for Isabella, even though she gives the impression of being bold and unrestrained, she’s loyal deep inside. I’m not gonna mess with her.”,
“That’s good.”
Freya turned around and was about to go back to the private room, but Chris blocked her way.
“Wait a minute. You weren’t this distant with me in front of Madam Daniella.”
Freya’s gaze fell behind him. Then, she retracted her gaze back to Chris with a smile and shot him at friendly smile. “Okay. Chris. Happy?”
Chris was amused. “Nice.”
“Let’s have a drink together sometime.” Freya beamed brightly.
When Chris heard that, he thought for a moment. Since Freya is Radley’s wife and Radley is my best friend, of course, we’ll have a chance to drink together sometime.
“Sure!”
Freya turned and left.
Then, Chris heard a light cough behind him.
Immediately, he spun around, only to see Radley and Mikael standing not far away.
Chris felt a chill down his spine and unconsciously touched the back of his neck.
Mikael gave him a sympathetic look.
Radley sneered. Then, with a deep and emotionless tone, Radley imitated the way Freya addressed Chris, but in an exaggerated way,
Hearing that, Chris hissed. “Jeez, why do I feel like you’re threatening me with death?”
The three went back to their private room on the eighth floor, and Radley requested Trinity Club’s surveillance footage to watch on a tablet.
“Don’t worry. Freya is in Room 503 on the fifth floor. I’ve instructed security to pay extra attention to her room. She won’t run into any problems. After all, she’s my best friend’s wife.”
Amused, Mikael chuckled. “If it weren’t for our twenty years of friendship, Radley would probably make your club go out of business tomorrow.”
As they joked Chris gave Radley a gossipy look and asked, “Radley, have you seen the news about Danna?” Radley’s expression remained indifferent as he replied, “Yeah, Connor told me, but I haven’t watched it
“That’s probably for the best. If I were to date a woman like her, I would feel disgusted for a few days. With your level of cleanliness, you must be feeling even worse.”
Radley’s gaze was on the tablet.
When he heard the news today, he immediately realized that the blood on the sheets that day was fake.
Apparently, Danna had carefully packaged herself, hoping to sell herself at a good price to him.
Mikael also saw the news. He glanced at Radley and suggested, “Radley, I think you’d better go to a hospital for a checkup.”
Hearing the suggestion, Radley raised his eyes at his best friend. “Yeah?”
“Danna is promiscuous. What if she’s got some disease….
Radley shifted his gaze back to the tablet. “There’s no need.”
“What do you mean that there’s no need?” Suddenly, realizing something. Chris gasped. “Radley, you’ve never had sex with her all these years?”
Radley’s face remained calm. Since Danna faked the blood, the possibility of us having sex that day is highly unlikely.
